To bring us full circle to the top of the thread, how about farming franchises?
In exchange for your investment and part of profits, you get help buying land, training, and a silly paper hat.
(Other people than I that don't just come here for the jokes could probably expand on that idea. More likely they will point us to a website that shows it's already being done, and done better.)

(If farmers could have actual holidays, I think it could be a lot more popular. But no, those spoiled cows want to be milked, like every day.)

(Here's another one: you invest in your local farm, in exchange for 5% off produce. Farmers get capital, and a guaranteed market. And you could help out plant the emus or whatever.)
